The "final verdict" on the day's Twins baseball action.

Last Place

As I sit here writing this blog post, the Minnesota Twins currently reside in the cellar of the AL Central division. The last time they finished a season that low in the standings was 2000, when I was starting high school and didn’t yet even have cable to watch them on MSC (Midwest Sports Channel, the precursor to FSN).

Suffice it to say, it is strange to be in the position of looking up at the KC Royals after being on the “other side” for so long. A bit humbling, I suppose.

I remember a few months ago, with the Twins in fourth place, my goal was to see the team move up slot by slot in the standings. Well, the opposite has transpired and now the goal becomes climbing out of the basement back to respectability.
